Niagara - GTA CorridorEnvironmental Assessment Video

Public Information Centre #5

The Niagara to GTA Corridor draft Transportation Development Strategy was released for review and comment in March 2011. Consistent with the project team's "building block" philosophy, this Strategy included recommendations for optimizing the existing transportation network (Group 1), providing new/expanded non-roadway infrastructure (Group 2), as well as options for providing additional roadway capacity (Groups 3 and 4).

In response to feedback received from stakeholders, the study team undertook additional analysis of highway expansion alternatives (Groups 3 and 4) to gain further insight into the complex issues and trade-offs associated with each portion of the study area.

The NGTA study team has now completed the technical assessment of the highway expansion options and a preferred strategy has been identified for each portion of the study area. The study team will be releasing the findings of this analysis over the coming months through advisory group meetings, and a round of Public Information Centres. The feedback obtained will be used to finalize the highway expansion recommendations and the Transportation Development Strategy.

The public is invited to attend the fifth round of Public Information Centres (PIC #5) to review and comment on the findings of the additional technical assessment of highway expansion options and the preferred strategy for each portion of the study area.

These will be drop-in style open house sessions to allow members of the public to review display material and discuss the study one-on-one with study team members. PIC #5 will be held on:
